Spinny Nights

Queer + Black serves as an introduction to Grove's experience of the world. Tunes to get sweaty in the dance to, as well as contemplate sexuality, class + race. The range of influences for the tracks span from the power felt in decolonising our spaces (with the toppling of the Edward Colston statue), to the feeling of euphoria during a rave for queer people of colour, to calling for a focus on how landlordism + classism is keeping inequality rife in society. All soundtracked by dark dance, hip-hop and dancehall-infused beats. What we hear is a forward thinking, high energy type of versatile dance music, with plenty of lyrical attitude, and plenty of musical twists &amp; turns. A mash-up of styles that recalls elements of 90's breakbeat energy, as well as contemporary dancehall, rap and modern rave styles, all in one highly infectious, fluid run of tracks with a subtle touch of hyperactive pop arrangement that makes for an extra enjoyable listen - keeping full momentum and dynamic throughout - this one's packed with energy and well up for making noise.
